Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Let him misunderstand, let him hold his grudge. It's better than clearing things up and giving him false hope that there might still be a chance for us.

She was done with having her wings clipped, trapped by his side, sharing him with other women, and constantly facing the endless parade of others he entertained outside their relationship. With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Selena let out a cold smile. She looked up into his deep-set eyes and retorted, "Everett, what's the point of digging up the past now? Times have changed." "How can you say that?"

Her nonchalant attitude only fueled Everett's anger.

He glared at her, practically grinding his teeth, "You think you can just pretend nothing happened? You owe me!"

"What do I owe you?"

Selena almost laughed. She couldn't even muster the energy to argue with him anymore. "Everett, if that's how you see it, there's nothing I can do about it. You say I owe you, but you've wronged me too. We're square." She took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Everett, you can't live in the past forever. You've got everything anyone could want now. Is it really necessary to hold a grudge against someone like me?"

"I married you, and after four years, we lost both our kids. No money, and my heart shattered. Isn't that enough?"

Even though she'd moved on, recalling those memories still tugged at her heartstrings.

That kind of pain leaves deep scars. Time might dull the pain, but it can't erase those marks.

Everett felt his own heart constricting.

His lips pressed tightly together, and after a long pause, he finally said, "Selena, was it that I didn't offer or you didn't want to accept?"

When he realized his mistakes and wanted to make things right, when he was ready to share everything with her, she was the one who didn't want it.

She only wanted to escape.

She used every method and strategy to leave with another man!

Even though Selena had no expectations from him, hearing this still left her feeling drained.

She suddenly shoved him away with force.

Everett, caught off guard, stumbled backward a few steps.

"So you still think the divorce was my fault?"

Selena's voice was soft but clear, her lips curled into a smile, but her eyes were filled with endless sorrow.

"Everett, three years, and you haven't changed a bit. Still as unreasonable as ever!"noveldrama

"Let me tell you, the best decision I ever made was leaving you three years ago!"

His handsome face twisted with surprise.

After saying that, Selena didn't spare him another glance and walked away.

Her skirt swirled in a decisive arc, just like three years ago.

Everett stood at the graveside for a long time, silently staring at Josh's tombstone, unsure how long

been there before he finally whispered.

"Not enough."

He was answering Selena's earlier question.

For three years, he forced himself to let go, thinking he'd eventually stop caring.

But the moment she appeared, his resolve crumbled.

If that was the case, this time, he wouldn't let go again!

Everett returned to his car.

Alex immediately briefed him on

He leaned back in the leather seat, his long fingers tapping rhythmically.

After a moment, he instructed her to handle another task.

Alex listened, her expression difficult to read.

...

When Selena arrived at the hospital, all of Brook's test results were ready.

She gently held her uncle's hang.

asked, "Doctor, how did the tests turn out?"

After asking, she couldn't help but feel a wave of nerves, holding her breath slightly as she waited.
